Message from the President

​The FSES PTA is a parent-run organization that works with the teachers, administrators, and staff of Franklin Sherman to enhance the educational experience and social development of our children. We are a community that emphasizes caring and working together with others. The generosity of our parents, through a combined commitment of time and financial resources, allows us to provide additional resources for our children, including technology in the classroom, library books, and field trips. In addition, the PTA works through the county and state PTA networks to advocate on behalf of our community with the Fairfax County Public Schools administration, and in some cases, before the county and state governments. 

The PTA funds and organizes community-building events such as the Welcome Back Social, Movie Night, International Night and our End-of-Year Dance Party. 

At Franklin Sherman we are proud of our diversity, with a student body comprising children from different cultures and with differing abilities.  About 15 percent of our student population are English learners. Over 30 percent of students participate in some level of advanced academics. And, about 15 percent of students receive services for special needs, including two classrooms dedicated to children with autism and related disorders.

​​We encourage you to join us and we look forward to working with you this year!
